Asus P7P55D-E Premium
$275.00
Released November, 2009
The Pros:Tidy, neat layout makes installation a breeze. Great overclocker--can handle RAM, CPU, GPU overclocking with no overheating or efficiency issues. Relatively futureproof in some ways--SATA III and USB 3.0.
The Cons:Dual-GPU setups are limited to x8/x8 mode. 6 of the 8 SATA connectors share a single controller, limiting RAID setups. There's no reason to buy this board over similar Sandy Bridge offerings.
